Amey Consulting<\/a> has secured a new data science contract with Highways England<\/a>, to deliver several data science projects which aim to demonstrate the benefits of a data-driven approach<\/h2>\n

The new service will enable Highways England to identify and deliver data science projects to unlock insights from their data and use this to implement and embed sustainable, data-led business improvement into the organisation. This will deliver benefits in safety, customer experience and delivery and forms a key part of their new Information Vision & Strategy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As part of the contract, Amey Consulting is recruiting new data science professionals into the sector, expanding its team of 140 and upskilling the industry<\/a> in the process.<\/p>\n

Amey Consulting helps unlock value and insight from data, applying a scientific approach to understanding real problems through data and then using this insight to deliver incremental and sustainable business benefits.<\/p>\n

Connecting the country through better journeys<\/h3>\n

Alex Gilbert, managing director of Amey Consulting, said: \u201cthis is a fantastic result for the business, and we\u2019re excited to be working closely with Highways England and playing an important part in delivering their Information Vision and Strategy.<\/p>\n

“It builds on a successful year for our Strategic Consulting team, who also secured major opportunities with Network Rail<\/a> as part of their Intelligent Infrastructure programme and the nationwide roll-out of our Quartz platform to improve train performance across all routes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jon Drea, head of data science for Highways England, added: \u201cI am delighted to bring Amey Consulting\u2019s data science expertise to Highways England. They are developing the service to transform processes for the better across our organisation.<\/p>\n

“By unlocking the power of information, we can fulfill our purpose of connecting the country through better journeys.\u201d<\/p>\n
